Shs270b shot in the arm for fight against malnutrition

A campaign to end child hunger and malnutrition nationwide has got a new boost, with World Vision Uganda allocating $75m (Shs277.5 billion).

The campaign dubbed ENOUGH is aimed at ending child hunger and malnutrition nationwide in line with the global and regional frameworks, including Sustainable Development Goals SDGs, Africa Agenda 2063, and Uganda’s National Development Plan.

“The ENOUGH campaign seeks to promote diversified food production, social behaviour change, policy strengthening, and resource mobilization to combat child hunger and malnutrition,” said Mr Jeremiah Nyagah, the national director of World Vision Uganda,

“We will commit $75 million over two years to drive sustainability and impact,” Mr Nyagah explained.

She was addressing the media during the launch of the campaign in Kampala last week.
